Celtic Cross Sunday Mass - Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Bishop Benny Sagra celebrates the Sunday Mass on the Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost.

Liturgical Color is Green <> Epistle:  Ephesians 4:23-28 <> Gospel:  Matthew 22:1-14

Gospel Theme:  "For many are called, but few are chosen."  Matthew 22:14

Synopsis:  There are those who scoff at religion and those who practice it; others who do not fulfill their religious duties, not even the most necessary duties; they lived absorbed in their occupations or attracted by worldly diversions; they are Christians in name only.  Without sanctifying grace we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.  To die in the state of grace is a special gift for which we must pray and which God will certainly not deny us if we "ever cleave to (His) commandments.
